How did we find out the truth?: The National Family Health Survey (NFHS) records data on fertility by religion in surveys conducted by the government.
latest report, NFHS-5studied the total fertility rate (TFR) of India’s population over a period of three years from 2019 to 2021.
Table 4.2 of the report lists the TFR of women aged 15 to 49 by residence, schooling and religion.
Here, we see that the claim lists exact figures for each religious community apart From Muslim community.
While the claim states that the TFR for Muslim women is 4.4, in reality, the figure is much lower and is 2.36.
It also revealed that the figure of ‘4.4 children’ for the Muslim community was taken from a 1992 survey and is not an accurate basis for comparison in 2024.
